COMMITMENT OF CHILDREN.

Representative Connors bill relating to the commitment of children to the orphan asylums of New Haven by the City court, unfavorably reported on by the committee and rejected by the House, passed the Sen ate, owing in great measure to the able ad- vocacy of Senator Gallagher. He offered an amendment, which was adopted. It provid- ed that no compensation should be paid to the asylums Senator Gallagher favored in a strong speech, in which he spoke of the righteousness of the measure and that the Catholics of New Haven asked no more than was fair when they wanted the little ones of their faith committed to the asylums. Sena tors Graham and Doolittle opposed. The bill was finally passed on rising vote.

DOctOring Wines I'm Paris.

OF the hundred and odd millions OF gal
Ions Of wine that yearly enter Paris all is
as represented, the ''doctoring' being
done after the wine has paid its duties
and passed into the hands of dealers.
The most harmless Of these tricks Is the
marking OF ordinary vintages by the
name Of some wine Of much higher grade;
the next is making, say, three barrels out
of two by adding distilled water and in
creasing the color by mixing in n few
quarts of a wine grown in the department
of Loiret called ''black wine,'' from its
excess Of natural coloring matter,
Besides all this a large proportion OF
the "sherries,' and practically all of the
"Madeiras' are made at Cette and else
where from rough native wines some

ever, principally used in cooking, are en-
tered ut the custom house for what they
are and SO sold to dealers. In fact, the
names have come to be So well under.

The Curse on Shepherdinc.

So, to n bankrupt miner there was little
else Offering but the occupation Of a
yaquero or a herder Of sheep. These
straightway descended to the level Of the
despised ~''greasers" ard ''diggers." The
curse of ''degradation'' which the negroes
have fastened upon plantation labor in
the south, the Indians and the Mexican
half breeds have riveted on shepherdine
in California.
The ranks are largely filled with the
riff raft; disappointed miners, reckless
and unhappy wanderers cursing their
luck, cursing the world who gamble away
their wages as soon as received, going from
one ranch to another many times a year,
swelling the blanket brigade" de-
serting sailors from ships lying in
San Francisco bay, who sell their
blankets and tackle for a pillow case
full of biscuits and then GO hungry for
days until they find a situation; Sydney

DO not know the difference between u dry
flock and a breeding nock-who fall
asleep ut their post and let a coyote catch
and devour a lamb. The old miner is like
the old soldier, he will not work. In the
consequences and isolation Of the shep-
herds life he nnds 4 cOngenial refuge;

acre of mine has caved in. All hopes of

two-thirds of the copper yield in the

A ForIorn Hope.

The following Pierre special to the
Sioux City Journal indicates a strong
probability of the passage of the Dawes
bill during the present session of con-
gress. 1t is to be devoutly hoped that
these indications may be supplemented
with more salts 'actory results than in
dications in the past, equally iattering,
which have so vainly foreshadowed the
end desired:
Pierre, Dec. 12.-AdvIces received here
from Washington have created more
hopeful feeling in the minds of the poo
Pile regarding the Dawes bill. Hon. j.
J. kliner, who is now in Washington
in the interest of the bill. says that there
is not a particle of opposition to it in
either house of congress. Congressman
Peel, who is one of the warmest friends
Of the Dawes bill, will be appointed
chairman Of the Indian committee. and
promises to bring it before congress at
an early date. The Indian rights as

Fools Not ALI Dead.

The fools are not all dead yet even in
Dakota, as the following special tele-
gram to the Pioneer Press clearly
shows:
Chicago, Special Telegram, Dec. 10
John, Samuel and James L%ittlejohn,
three farmers from Glastone, Oak were
tricked out of 5000 by a shrewd and
uhknow Western confidence man on
State ear Monroe street to day. The
Littlejohns were enroute from Glastone,
where they own considerable property
to Stratford, Canada. Friday, as they
were about leaving Minneapolis, they
were joined by a we'll appearing man
who represented himself as being a
gtockman on his way TO Chicago to look
after the sale of some cattle. The fellow
talked with astonishing garrulity about
the condition of the past seasons crops
and the prospects for the coming season
To-day the three brothers, with the
~garrulous stockman paid the stock
yards a visit, and while there were
shown the cattle owned by their new
found friend. The market was consul
ted, and the embryo stockman came to
the conclusion that prices being low, he
would not sell until to-day. Deciding
upon that course. all repaired to the
Transit house where the Littlejohns
told the man, whose name they never
found out, that they were farmers and
on their way to Canada to spend the
holidays. In the afternoon the quartet
decided to pay the city Il visit, the three
brothers having decided to take an
evening train for Stratford, Canada.
The stockman pointed ont to the
delighted Littlejohns the display in the
store windows.
While they were wandering along
opposite the Palmer house they were
suddenly confronted by a stranger, who
addressed the, Minneapolis stockman
and appeared solicitous about the pay
ment Of bill. The two men appeared
friendly, and after a few pleasant words
the Minneapolis man decided that it
was time to liquidate an account. He
plunged into his pocketbook, could not
find the requisite amount. Instead,
however, he pulled ont from different
pockets several government bonds Of
the denomination of 81 900 each. In a
fit Of chagrin and despair he turned
toward the Littlejohns and asked them
to advance him some money on the
bonds. How much? ?" "Well about
5000 on a 81 900 bond. I'll tell you what
I'll do" said the stockman. "Ill meet
you at Transit house this afternoon and
pay you the amount and get the bond"
The 5000 in hard, cold cash went from
the three brothers to the stockman, and
in return they took the 1000 bond.
A little while later their friend went
into a saloon with a friend and failing
TO return, the three brothers went to
the Transit house at the yards. Their
friend had failed to turn up, and on
statingthe condition ofaffairs to the clerk,
that person referred them to the police
station There Capt.. Morley looked
over the bond, and found that it wa
only an imitation. The matter was re-
ported to the central police station,

The following interesting special to the

Of John Arensdorf, appeared in that

very much divided, the temperance pee.
pie asserting that the verdict is not a
just one and not borne out by the facts,
while those opposed to the prohibitory
law and the friends of Arensdorf are
jubilant. A banquet was given to-day
at the residence of the defendant to the
jury. attorneys for the defense and a
few friends. G.. G. Tredway was there.
and is said to have made a speech. The
next term of court conyenes Jan. 2, and
the conspicuous cases will then be
called up for assignment. 1t will be re
membered that all those known to have
been present at the scene Of the mur
der were indicted on two charges, one
Of murder and one Of conspiracy
Doubts are expressed, however,
whether thay will ever be brought 10
trial. The attorneys for the defense
assert that under the sweeping instruct
ions Of fudge Wakefield that Arensdorf
cannot be tried for the lesser crime after
having been acquitted Of the greater.
The states counsel are somewhat disap-
| pointed by the result. and the fact is
not made known that on the day preced-
ing the opening of the Arensdorf trial "A
consultation was held to which several
well-known attorneys and business men
were called, and the ACCESSIBILITY of
throwing the case up was considered, it
being thought impossible to secure a

for the defense say unquaIifedIy that
they will clear the whole gang, not
excepting Fred Munchrath, who is now
under sentence Of four years but who is
out pending an appeal.
